Poems written by Andreea Arsene
Andreea Arsene
Frozen soul
Holded by long and hungry armsIn a cold, too tight embrace,
I feel the claw that breaks the frail bones
And the glass eye that drops the wept tear.
I chaotically dance the tango of my damnation
A dull light caresses me
The cold heart that floats among the stars.
Fate gave me blindfolds
I wear various masks like any actor
The hours on the dial slowly absorb me.
A sharp branch holds me like an umbrella
The hard and cold earth is my garment
My face is painted from watercolor dust.
My life is measured by a chronograph
I am not afraid of death, I step over graves
I memorize illusions on my retina, like a photographer.
In the eyes of...
In the eyes of time, life is a turbulent river,A dough mixed with angels and demons,
A burden of destiny, which we carry on our shoulders,
Through memories and dreams, through storms and calms.
A brilliant sunset on the sea of eternity,
A fleeting dream caught in the velvet of eternity,
And an echo of memory in the bosom of the universe.
Which carries the ancient mysteries and those born from chaos
Clouds are like unwritten stories floating towards the horizon,
And lightning is just the fiery kisses of the gods.
When I am consumed by longing
I am looking for your being, looking through the cold screen
that separates the worlds that separate us.
When I am thirsty for you
I am looking for you through the pages of books,
creating your face from fragments of thought.
You are there present in spirit, I see your aura
But to touch you, it is impossible for me.
A heart once hardened into rock,
is heated in the flame of a secret love,
for the one who spreads the light.
I know that I am not part of the book of your life.
I am a speck of dust in the vast universe
Which will dissipate in the mist of time.
Forgetting to live for yourself
That first,
And don't let weeds grow
Next to the flower of your life
That you must maintain
Sprinkling it with spring water
From the soul untouched by the ultimate evil.
The most important being in your life,
is yourself. Don't forget that!
Give yourself priority and don't let
Others invade your sacred inner space
Which belongs only to you.
Don't give up on yourself to please
Others, because they will subjugate you
Without any gratitude.
